1. A subscriber node adapted for installation at a premises, the subscriber node comprising:
an outdoor unit for carrying a steerable antenna module,
an indoor unit holding a local wireless module; and
a bridge unit configured to mechanically support the outdoor unit and the indoor unit through a window under a rail of a sash of the window, the indoor unit and the outdoor unit communicating via the bridge unit;
wherein the subscriber node communicates with one or more aggregation nodes in a spectral band of 10 GHz to 300 GHz;
wherein the indoor unit includes a modem module that includes a radio chipset that generates several transmit multi spatial stream signals and decodes several receive multi spatial stream signals: and
wherein the outdoor unit includes an extremely high frequency module that includes high frequency transmit mixers for upconverting based on the several transmit multi spatial stream signals to the spectral band of 10 GHz to 300 GHz, and high frequency receive mixers for downconverting received high frequency signals for generation of the receive multi spatial stream signals provided to the indoor unit via the bridge unit.
